Özet:

Abu Madyan, one of the key figures of the history of Sufism, was born in Andalusia, in 6/12. century. He spent the first years of his childhood as a shepherd. Then he fell in love with the knowledge and received education by travelling so many places. He gravitated toward the spiritual field since he is not satisfied with only the external knowledge. He joined discourses of the foremost sheikhs in his own time and won their affection. Abu Madyan was regarded as the sheik of the Maghreb (Western) region and educated lots of students in a successful way. He had an affect on the birth, development and taking shape of myriad sects via his students and works. Abu Madyan's influence on Sufi movements still continues to be potent in today’s world. Abu Madyan with apparent miracles adopted a Sufi concept based on Qur'an and Sunnah, is compatible with both external and internal world.
